His Majesty's impatience shocked Luna, who thought that something important was about to happen.

"Your Majesty, is there something going to happen?"

Luna asked softly.

"Yes, the situation in Scotland is a little unstable, and with the current gold coins, it is impossible to support an expedition again, so as the Royal Treasurer, this is an important task for you!"

Edward remembered that his next action could not be hidden from her, so he thought for a moment and said it without hesitation.

"It's—" Luna's eyes widened, her eyes widening as she covered her red lips in surprise, it was clear that the news of war was coming was indeed startling, and that it was aimed at Scotland again.

She gently stroked her heartbeat chest with her white jade hand, calmed down for a while, and then continued:

"Your Majesty, if it really can't be done, there are still some leftover expenditures from last year's major territories of the royal family, about 10,000 pounds or so!"

"What's more, why do you keep taking money from the royal family? You can convene a council and impose a war tax! ”

Finally, Luna reacted, narrowed her eyes, and closed the distance between the two of them, until Edward saw the faint fluff on her face, she stopped and asked curiously.

"Really?" Hearing this rhetorical question, Edward did not care to look at her pretty face, lowered his head, and muttered softly.

"Yes! Am I stupid to patronize my dependence on the Parliament, but forget to use the Parliament to make money, like my cheap father Henry VIII? ”

"Besides, this time I went to Scotland, I can still directly recruit those nobles, the free militia can't be used, but aren't there still free nobles?"

As he pondered, the mature and steady Luna showed a smile, her long legs erect, tilting her head, quietly looking at the young king with a thinking face, the corners of her mouth slightly curled, looking extremely sweet.

"His Majesty's face is so beautiful, and with the smell of a book, it's fascinating!"

Edward was silently thinking as Luna looked at him, her forehead bangs slipping down, obscuring her somewhat drunken blush, and a sense of tranquility accentuated her whole person.

"First, I can use a sum of troops for free, and by the way, I can consume the strength of the nobles!"

"Second, you can also let the nobles participate in sharing the war dividends, and it can also be said to use money to buy the nobles' troops, but the effect is very good, and you can win over the nobles, after all, the more obedient the nobles, the better!"

In the end, Edward remembered all the benefits, and finally felt that it would be good to take advantage of the vassal system left over from the Middle Ages.

"Luna, you really gave me a great idea!"

Edward raised his head, looked at the girl in a daze, stood up, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and said excitedly.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty!" Luna looked at His Majesty the King, who was close at hand, and this sudden act made her face suddenly flush, or rather, even more rosy.

"Sure enough, Luna, you're my goddess of luck!"

Edward looked at the girl's shy eyes and whispered.

"But, it's better to have more gold coins, you still have to try to get some money, just in case!"

"Well, Your Majesty, I will try!"

Luna now appeared to be half-held in Edward's arms, her head slightly bowed, and her whisper trembling in a low nasal voice.

Seeing this, Edward was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, how could he give up this good opportunity, lowered his head, aimed at the red lips, and slowly pointed up.

Luna, too, understands what is coming, closing her eyes, revealing her long, curved eyelashes, rather shy.

Just when there was only one centimeter left on the lips of the two of them, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Seeing this, Edward saw more scenes in the TV series, and accelerated the kiss without hesitation, and kissed the girl's red lips tightly with his lips.

Edward's first impression is smooth, and the second feeling is a little sweet.

In doing so, Edward thrust his tongue in, priing open the girl's trembling teeth and wrapping her dodgy tongue tightly.

Suddenly, Edward felt the girl in his arms tremble, and then quickly relaxed, slumping in his arms.

In this way, the two kissed for about a minute or so before slowly separating.

After the two of them sorted out their clothes very tacitly, Edward sat down in his chair and said dignifiedly, "Come in—"

"Your Majesty, John. Mr. Carrile has arrived! ”

Emma walked in softly, looking at the upright King and Luna, a hint of strangeness in her eyes, before she bent down to Edward.

"Well, please invite him in!" Edward glanced at the big-breasted girl and said calmly.

"Yes!" Emma whispered yes and slowly stepped back.

"Your Majesty, that's also temporarily gone!"

At this time, Luna forcibly suppressed the shame in her heart and whispered.

Immediately, she followed Emma and retreated.

Seeing this, Edward didn't do anything to save it, just smiled slightly.

Then, a bearded, stout man walked in cautiously, respectfully, and saluted Edward before saying:

"Good day, Your Majesty!"

"Mr. Carrile, what is the price of mercenaries in the Europa region at the moment?"

At the beginning, Edward asked directly.

And John. Carrile lowered his head and thought for a moment, then immediately reacted and said:

"Your Majesty, for the time being, the average mercenary in Germany is five pence a day per man, the Swiss mercenary is eightpence, and the Italian mercenary is sixpence!"

John. Carrile stroked the beard of his chin, and though he wondered why His Majesty had asked the question, he said without hesitation.

"Five pence a day is about thirteen shillings a month, and a thousand men are thirteen thousand shillings a month, or five hundred and forty pounds.

A conservative estimate is that the hiring of 5,000 men and the cooperation of the Guards and noble soldiers can barely suppress the Scots, who are fighting flesh and blood, then it will cost 2,700 pounds a month! ”

"In this way, the price is okay!"

After calculating in his heart, Edward felt that the price was within his acceptable range, and his face suddenly showed a relaxed look.

Looking at the look on the king's face, John. Carrile guessed the young king's thoughts, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally reminded softly.

"Your Majesty, if you want them to fight in England, then the price will be doubled, please prepare in advance!"

"Oh ~ my God!" Hearing this, Edward's heart suddenly tightened, and he felt that after this scene, he would probably be able to run mice in the treasury.

Five thousand four hundred pounds a month, half a year, that is, more than thirty thousand pounds, excluding mercenaries, plus the expenses of other armies, conservative estimates, half a year, must be about 100,000 pounds, which is one-third of the annual income of the royal family in previous years.

And if there were other circumstances, a delay of several months, then the cost was even greater, and sure enough, the war was the largest expenditure of the state in this era.

At this count, Edward felt his heart broken.
